Black Bean Soup Recipe

When I loved in New York I loved making this soup and when I moved back to Alabama it seemed to go by the wayside, just like most people we began associating our meals with meat and well this soup didn’t have it so it lost its place on the meal rotation. This weekend it made its comeback. After soaking 3 cups of black, straining, and then cooking them, I was left with quite a bit of black bean broth. With some other veggies, fresh herbs, and rice – it made for quite a hearty winter meal.
